Ok sir! thanks for his information! now i found the answer why some of my post was deleted!i did not know that my post was has same content with other people!but its ok.. maybe need to read all comments first before i post my comments on the forum so that there will be no alike to my post!Thanks again sir! have a blessed day ahead!

Thats correct.Never post off-topic replies just to increase our posts or activities but then sometimes we are expecting that our post replies are relevant. Is there any criteria for the post replies to be relevant ?

Moderators should make this section compulsory for newbies(possibly before registration) , I believe it will help us to know how to comment on topics and will surely reduce the level of making posts not in line with the topic of discussion. Thanks

Same issue here, i have posted a couple of replies there, at first it counts on the post and activity but after a day or so when i refresh it disappear, i dont know how that happened and it's wasting my ideas I'm sharing.

Activity and posts disappearing? That would be when you make shitty posts that are insubstantial. It's a you problem and so none of your ideas are being wasted.

There's no value in posts that are deleted and so the only thing that is wasted is both your and the moderators' time.

Based on my very limited experience here I think as long as you make an honest attempt to reply to the topic at hand, even if you digress a bit, it's OK. But replies like "I agree" "totally agree" are just a bit too lazy... lol Other forums may have functions that allow people to just upvote the previous comment to show they are in agreement. We don't have that here. Perhaps this is part of the reason some people post comments like that. Well, now we are warned. Don't do it. lol

I agree with this, we do not post posts outside the topic. If you want to post content that is relevant to your topic, then your article will be of high quality. If you post the wrong topic or copy the content is at risk of nick lock. You can not participate in any bitcoin campaign.

Off-topic replies have become a big problem. From now on, I will be deleting such replies without notice, forum-wide. If your replies disappear, this is probably why.

All replies must respond to the topic's original post in some way, even if they are replying to an on-topic reply. If your reply has nothing to do with the topic post, either add some content that is relevant or create a new topic.

Please report off-topic posts as soon as you see them.

should not be notified after the topic off replay is removed?because I think it's better with the purpose of the person concerned does not repeat the same thing ..this is just my advice

The concept of off/on topic in threads is really really difficult. The solution I've been most successful with (and I'm pre-Internet chatforum moderator old) is to have the original poster decide when the discussion that follows is on or off topic.

Else you end up in situations where the thread starter is fully ok with the discussion and a moderator starts deleting posts.

(In this case it should be somewhat easy for moderators to see if it's the thread starter that Reports to Moderator with "off topic" as reason)

This is not fair to the people responding to a topic, IMO. People who reply to topics should know that if they are on-topic and they follow the rules, they will not be censored. Also, it is very annoying for reply-writers when they write long, detailed responses and then the topics become off-topic and useless.

Maintaining perfect on-topicness is difficult. In the future, discussions may be made threaded instead of flat, which will basically be like having a system that automatically creates new topics when people are posting off-topic things (in many cases).

I agree. Off topic posts will sometimes lead to another topic especially if others will also reply to that post. It is best to stick to the topic and give more informations that will be of great help to fellow bitcoiners.

So I saw XMen: First Class the other day, it was actually pretty good ... there was was this one scene where everyo....

JK. Will report those posts as necessary.

to use lacedwithkerosen's reply as an example. if he did not include the last line "JK. Will report those posts as necessary." this post when reported would've gotten 100% accuracy rating being that it is irrelevant the topic.

Now, is it true to say his reply is 100% relevant to the topic, because of the last line. resulting in a 0% accuracy rating if reported. Or is this percentage adjusted by the messages' majority relevance to the topic. eg. of the 168 characters in lacedwithkerosen's reply 41 of them are relevant to the message. would that then make the accuracy rating 24% accurate if reported.

I very much agree with this. I read and understand first the topics very carefully before commenting on it.
